Overflow Boxes

[proton]

Hi All, I want to creat an overflow box, unfortunately my tank doesn't support any of those ready made ones and the holes at the back at a V shape. So I have decided to make my own. I was wondering if anyone can suggest where I could get two perspex boxes to make my own overflow. Boxes can be about 6"L X 4"W x 1" or 2"Deep.

Obviously I'm looking for two. I can't really be asked to make the boxes myself, too time consuming and I don't have much time. I was considering hooking them with something to each other and haveing a U bend pipe between them. Drilling a hole on one to go to sump. But I think the biggest problem is finding two boxes that are Reef safe and the above size.

Anyone have any ideas?

Hey proton,
I know this is an american site but it's just for reference
What about plastic cerel storage boxes

They come in different sizes and are food safe which is what you require.
I'm sure you could find cheap ones at your nearest supermarket.
They would have to be modded of course, but it's just an idea.
